I spent 5 years traveling on broadway style shows as a technician, hence the username. Now I live in philadelphia and I'm stuck with the name. I've only been here a few months and am trying to get out in the nightlife and the excitement of this city.

I dont like being sedentary if possible. If there are things to do or events to be attended or people to have conversations with i'd rather be doing that. I like to think. I like finding culture in a city: galleries, farmers markets, coffee shops, book stores, concerts, high energy people, places to climb or be outdoors. Anything that makes me feel alive.

Staying hidden until i want to be found.Saying the wrong thing.Accepting challenges, filling up my time with exciting and stimulating events.Staying busy.Being positive energy in a room of negativity.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have a decent amount of red hair. On a windy day it's hard to avoid seeing pretty much everywhere.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

I read whenever i can. I read the NY times, historical biographies, off the cuff fiction. I just read 'Shop Class as Soulcraft'. Also recently read Wild by Cheryl Strayed and the Dinner by Herman Koch. I enjoy Tracey Kidder, Bill Bryson, Sara Vowell, David Sedaris and Erik Larson.

I was a huge fan of the West West. Very thought provoking and fast paced. I watch stuff like the Newsroom, Shameless, Dexter, Parks and Rec. and Portlandia. I appreciate things that are well written and challenge the viewer. I like a challenge. I listen to a bit of "This American Life", "Planet Money", "The Moth", TEDtalks, and "Risk"

I'm a vegetarian but I like trying new dishes and foods from any culture. Thai, Indian, some good pasta, veggie rolls, anything really. I cook and bake when I'm home. I enjoy creating and replicating things in the kitchen. A good batch of chocolate chip cookies made late at a night with someone you care about is the best thing ever.

The six things I could never do without

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Something to bake, an event that I could put on, what's going on this weekend, somewhere new I could check out, a good craft beer, a good dry red wine, something to take a picture of, somewhere to visit.

What I could do better.What I'm doing wrong.What you're thinking.

On a typical Friday night I am

Either out at a rehearsal for a show or looking for a place to grab a drink and a conversation.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I have in the past...

...scrapbooked.
